Before the people of Wisconsin and local leaders green light all the data center expansions, they need to require a deal with the data and energy powerhouses to provide the power with alternative sources of energy.
Federal spending has fueled inflation, while zoning laws, excessive building regulations, and a failure to streamline the permitting process have all conspired to choke housing construction.
Kennedy is one of the top spreaders of misinformation about vaccines, peddling bogus conspiracy theories that these safe and effective protections for Americans are harmful. He said that “no vaccine is safe and effective.”
Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski is absolutely and unequivocally refusing to go along with Donald Trump’s increasingly aggressive maneuvering to make Greenland a part of the United States.
WARF is promoting a newly developed process for breaking down PFAS, which could offer another tool for addressing “forever chemicals.” The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation touted the technology as one of its “top licensing prospects” in its clean technology portfolio,
In wire-service shorthand, she is the “Dane County liberal” with all the baggage that Republicans hope that connotes. Geography aside, the term “liberal” has long been more a pejorative in politics than has “conservative.”
As a former prosecutor, private practice attorney, and now as a Dane County Circuit Court judge, I have dedicated my entire life to upholding the law, protecting our communities and delivering justice.
Reinstatement of the Wisconsin collective bargaining law as it was prior to Act 10 would be the greatest injustice we could do to the hundreds of thousands of students in 421 school districts that depend on Wisconsin public schools to be their path to the future.
This measure is yet another push by advocates of expansive government to fund assistance programs for households that likely do not need them.
Wisconsin should follow the lead of Maryland and pardon individuals with minor cannabis-related convictions. The pardon would help thousands of people start over with a clean slate.
Our democracy demands continuous engagement. The future—ours and that of generations to come—depends on staying informed, involved, and inspiring others in our communities to do the same.
Wisconsin GOP U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson and other GOP members of Congress endorsed this madness. They and Trump are not on the side of regular folks, just billionaires.
What is set to happen is not some creeping, slow, stodgy incremental policy shift on tariffs. Donald Trump has imposed a swift strike that will swing at the nations he talks about but will ultimately land with a painful jolt to the American consumers.
We’re just two weeks into the Trump administration’s next four years and very few people are sure exactly where the country is going.
Is a five-month prison sentence too inconsequential for a jury trial?
People who are suicidal frequently plan or think about it for a long time. However the decision to actually attempt suicide is often a spur-of-the-moment decision. Something happens in their life that triggers them to go through with it. So if you make it harder or slow down the time between the decision and the action, can you make a change?
We are the most powerful country on the planet. It is about time we use our strength to protect our interests in the world.
Reevaluating trade deals and carefully leveraging certain tariffs could have a positive impact on the economy, but like any good deal it needs to be well thought out and executed in a way that won’t compound the problems created by Biden.
But before any polling is done on what Trump said Wednesday about DEI hires being the cause of a deadly air crash over Washington, D.C., consider who will support his words. We know there will be a strong swell from the Trump base. What does that say about our nation? Our ideals?
Searching for clarity as Wisconsin confronts a new round of fascist power grabs.
